NMF Research Vessels

Research vessels
The national research fleet is managed by the National Marine Facilities (NMF) department of the NIOZ. The whole fleet has recently been replaced and consists of three state-of-the-art ships: RV Anna Weber-van Bosse, RV Wim Wolff and RV Adriaen Coenen. Each is dedicated to a specific area of operation, from the shallow waters of the Wadden Sea to the open ocean of the Atlantic.

NIOZ – Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research
Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) is the national oceanographic institute that serves as the national marine research facilitator (NMF) for The Netherlands scientific community. It principally performs and promotes academically excellent multidisciplinary fundamental, and frontier-creating applied marine research addressing important scientific and societal questions pertinent to the functioning of oceans and seas. The NIOZ-NMF vessel(s) and equipment for national marine research are maintained and exploited for the benefit of Dutch marine academia, applied research institutions, policymakers, NGOs, and industry in the widest possible sense.
